*HP8250i & Safedisc Ver 2.xx.xx* - Club CDFreaks

Eponymous · 16-05-2002

Is there any way of making a backup of a Safedisc ver 2.xx.xx protected game, without messing with the firmware (usually leads to a knackered drive), with an HP8250i drive.
I have tried many times to do it but I just cant seem to get a working copy to be read even in the writer. I have a Toshiba SD-M1612 DVD ROM, if its any help.....

Thanks in advance,
regards..

According to the CLonecd website the Drive writes regular bit patterns almost correctly
look at;

I believe that means it can not burn the new safedisk versions, but it can burn older safedisk protections

a pity the drive only copies raw, not raw+96

I forgot to mention its the HP8250i from the HP CdWriter Plus - 8200 Series, if this makes any difference.....

i do not think it makes a difference

do you know why the HP8250i appears twice on that Clone CD list? Was there two versions made and how can I determine the one i have? thanks in advance

perhaps there are 2 types, with a different chipset or so...but it is not very clear..

perhaps you can look on the HP website to get more info..perhaps even a firmware update

Is it the black drive or the white drive?

If it's the Black one it's based on a Philips drive. If it's the white one you can actually flash it to 8x.

It is the white one. I was wondering how relibale it is to flash the drive, becuase i have heard alot of controversy over flashing it. How can it be done so it actually works once flashed, and is it a reversable thing?
Is it true that it cannot write at 8x without making errors in the disc, and if i do flash it will i be able to write safedisc ver 2 correctly?

thanks in advance..
